The “public ivies” aren’t an actual league of schools or organization, they are a group of state school’s that were rated as the best public universities in Richard Moll’s guide to public education in 1985. Later in 2001 Greene’s Guides to Colleges and Universities was released and listed several of the best public schools in each region as “public ivies” as they provided a comparable level of educational instruction to those of Ivy League schools. The Ivy League is by contrasts an official sports league that consists of eight schools in the northeast, the league was founded in the 1954.I don’t doubt think students at Ivies learn any more than students at public ivies. Warren Buffett put it best when he said, “accounting is accounting, you won’t learn it any differently at an Ivy than you would at any other state school.” Keep in mind, while the Ivies are among the best schools overall in the country, the public ivies are among the best public schools, so their students and faculty aren’t slouches. Many of these public ivies are extremely competitive and tough to get into (both UCLA and Berkeley have less than 20% acceptance rate).It’s really the career opportunities and international reputation you’ll be able to get at an Ivy League which makes people want to go, and why they are so competitive. Some of the public ivies may be able to give some of the ivies a run for their money in terms of careers, but this would really only be for specific fields in specific parts of the country (i.e. UC Berkeley grads going to work for major tech firms in Silicon Valley).The Ivy League:Harvard UniversityYale UniversityPrinceton UniversityColumbia UniversityThe University of PennsylvaniaDartmouth CollegeBrown UniversityCornell UniversityOriginal Public Ivies (1985):The College of William and MaryMiami University (Oxford, Ohio)The University of California (all campuses)The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)The University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill)The University of Texas (Austin)The University or Vermont (Burlington)The University of Virginia (Charlottesville)Worth Runner-ups to the Original Public Ivies (1985):The University of Colorado, BoulderGeorgia Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignNew College of Florida (originally, New College of the University of South Florida)Pennsylvania State University (University Park)University of PittsburghState University of New York at Binghamton (aka Binghamton University)University of Washington (Seattle)University of Wisconsin - MadisonGreene’s Guides’ Public Ivies (2001):Northeast:Pennsylvania State University (University Park)Rutgers University (New Brunswick)State University of New York at Binghamton (aka Binghamton University)University of Connecticut (Storrs)Mid-Atlantic:University of DelawareUniversity of MarylandCollege of William and MaryUniversity of VirginiaSouth:University of Florida (Gainesville)University of Georgia (Athens)University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill)University of Texas (Austin)West:University of ArizonaUniversity of California (Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbra)University of Colorado (Boulder)University of Washington (Seattle)Mid-West:Indiana University (Bloomington)Miami University (Ohio)Michigan State University (East Lansing)Ohio State University (Colombus)University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign)University of Iowa (Iowa City)University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)University of Minnesota (Minneapolis-St. Paul)University of Wisconsin-Madison

Many now have reciprocal arrangements with nearby states to provide discounted tuition rates to their residents.Due in part to their affordability, public colleges have become increasingly popular—and sometimes harder to get into—in recent years. They have also substantially improved their graduation rates on average, a statistic experts use as a key measure of educational quality.In MONEY magazine's recently released rankings of the 705 best-value colleges in the U.S., more state schools than ever before landed near the top. The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor ranked No. 2 (second only to Princeton), the highest ranking ever for a public university. In fact, public colleges took 11 of the top 20 spots on this year's list.These 15 state schools ranked the highest on MONEY’s overall Best Colleges list.To view MONEY's full "Top 50" list of public colleges, click here.Sources: U.S. Department of Education, Peterson's, PayScale.com, MONEY/College Measures calculations.Raftermen Photography—Georgia Institute of Technology (1)15.

As a result, these universities often offer discounted tuition to residents of their states. Public schools run the gamut from small liberal arts colleges to large research institutions. These are the highest-ranked public colleges and universities in the 2017 Best Colleges rankings, listed according to their ranking category.

Not by a long stretch. I’ll explain where they do come from in a moment, but first let’s consider this proposition based on math.Starting just with entry level hires from the traditional campus recruiting program, the firm hires around 1,000 per year in the US alone, across all divisions. Even if it wanted to recruit solely from the Ivy League (and it doesn’t, even if it could), there aren’t even close to enough candidates at the Ivys who are interested, qualified, and the right fit for the work to meet that level of need.Moreover, like all leading firms in financial services and beyond, Goldman has made it a central goal of its hiring and talent strategy to diversify its workforce in as many dimensions as possible. Hiring 100% of its entry-level hires from just 8 schools would be completely antithetical to that objective.In fact, if you examined the schools represented in each year’s entry-level intake, you’d find they numbered in the dozens - and perhaps more.None of this takes into account that an organization of 35,000-odd people typically needs to hire around 5,000–7,000 people per year just to stay at that size and respond to ever-changing business needs and priorities. That means that far more people are hired laterally as ‘experienced hires’ than are hired through the campus programs. Again, this is typical of all similar organizations.And that lateral intake is even more diverse in terms of educational background than the campus intake. If you took a snapshot of the entire employee population at any given point in time, my bet is that globally you’d find up to a thousand universities and colleges represented. Certainly many hundreds.All of the above said, if you’d like to know which US colleges and universities that are not in the Ivy League provide the best chances of entry into prestige jobs at elite investment banking firms, I’d say the following is a pretty good list:Private Universities:StanfordMITDukeNYUChicagoNorthwesternNotre DamePublic / State UniversitiesUC BerkeleyUniversity of Michigan (Ann Arbor)University of Texas - AustinUniversity of VirginiaUniversity of IllinoisUniversity of Indiana - BloomingtonUniversity of North Carolina - Chapel HillLiberal arts colleges:WilliamsMiddleburyAmherstWellesleySwarthmoreHaverfordBentleyBowdoinThese lists are by no means exhaustive, and I’m sure I’ve missed some here and there.But it’s a good start.
